Summer sucks. Even in the UK. Please bring back winter, so I can get some points again.

Getting my old cards out of storage in a few weeks. Going to rebench them. Anyone got a delidded / nice i7-3770K they'd like to sell ^^ thumb.gif Something that'd outperform my 5.2/5.3 Sandy.

Is cold water OK for enthusiast league? Like subzero cold water? Cheap & easy to make a chiller for the summer, & still water cooling.

If there is a compressor involved then it is a single stage cooler by definition but a nice big bong would be kosher

Slush boxes are ok for the league. Was going to hang my radiator out the window. But low ambient temps help gpu wise. Especially with two three or four cards on the go. Veblen! Come on dude we need to bust this league wide open :-)

There was a big HWBot disccusion whether you could use these:

http://www.aquatuning.co.uk/product_info.php/info/p2691_waterchiller-Hailea-Ultra-Titan-300---HC250-265Watt-cooling-capacity-.html

Basically a water chiller that uses a compressor. Because people in the UK and Spain could not compete with the Finns or those that live in Romanian mountains. Never makes the water go below zero.

Then people were also discussing oil/water blends, like ethylene glycol+water, in combination with a chiller.

Basically slush is ok, water chiller is erring on the line, and chiller plus liquid blends is a no-no. Requires some trust as well.

Indeed! Have been steadily slipping...mad.gif

Not sure what else to do without better cooling. Have been thinking of using TECs - does that still count for the enthusiast league? - but after looking at the cost, it seems that phase change might be a better investment. However, that means leaving the enthusiast league. Decisions, decisions. tongue.gif
